Associations can be found between empathy and enhanced interpersonal connections and understanding.…”

Attending college is meaningful for many young adults. This period is marked by physical, emotional, and psychological changes that can have both positive and negative effects on college students. The last two decades have seen an alarming increase in the number of college students who suffer from mental health conditions, such as depression, suicide, anxiety, and alcohol abuse. It is recommended that actions to support the students’ wellbeing must be creative and evidence-based. Research suggests that a mindfulness-based intervention may be an effective strategy to address mental health conditions among college students. This study was done to examine the efficacy of an adapted mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) program that was implemented in a classroom setting in the Philippines and to explore how mindfulness practice can affect empathy and self-compassion on senior Filipino college students aged 19–22 years old. Two classes were used to compare the effects of mindfulness intervention. One class underwent the adapted MBCT program while the other class underwent the same kind of class without mindfulness interventions. Self-report measures of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, Perspective Taking subscale and Empathic Concern subscale of Interpersonal Reactivity Index, and Self-compassion scale—short form were administered before undergoing the adapted MBCT and after the program. After going through the adapted MBCT, college students’ mindfulness significantly improved. Empathy and self-compassion also significantly improved after undergoing the program. This corroborates previous studies done on mindfulness and its efficacy with adolescents and suggests how practicing mindfulness can improve empathy and self-compassion with Filipino college students. It provides a promising groundwork for the emerging interest and research in Asia, particularly in the Philippines, on how the practice of mindfulness can help with the mental health of college students.

“…To fully grasp those experiences and access the existing knowledge, a person-centered attitude of the researcher is proposed to gather holistic perspectives of a lived experience (Wilkins, 2016). Increasingly, research argues that for such holistic inquiries to occur, the researcher must foster a set of characteristics needed for a person-centered approach to research (Haselberger & Hutterer, 2013). A person-centered research endeavor emphasizes a collaborative, holistic, and open engagement with the entire lived experience of all involved parties.…”

“…A person-centered research endeavor emphasizes a collaborative, holistic, and open engagement with the entire lived experience of all involved parties. Nested within Indigenous decolonizing methodologies (Chilisa, 2019; Smith, 2021), this approach can produce knowledge and action that can transform communities (Chilisa, 2019; Haselberger & Hutterer, 2013; Howard & Hoffman, 2018). Furthermore, by its very nature, a person-centered approach is community-driven, whereby the person is considered in their layered sociopolitical and cultural context.…”

Indigenous research posits that practice-based evidence is fundamental to culturally grounded, multifaceted methods. The objective is to outline the key tenets and characteristics of Elder-centered research and relevant methodology using an interconnected progression of Alaska Native studies. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 Alaska Native Elders, 21 Alaska Native caregivers, and 12 Alaska Native and non-Native caregivers in two studies exploring cultural understandings of memory and successful aging. The design and implementation of these studies employed Elders at every level, ensuring cultural relevance, outcomes, and dissemination. Results reflect the benefits of engaging Alaska Native Elders in research and reveal methods for best practices: (a) creating advisory councils, (b) identifying stakeholders, (c) weaving together Elder and western knowledge systems, and (d) the reciprocal nature of Elder engagement and well-being. This research centers Indigenous values and research for an Elder-centered methodology that encourages engagement of older adults in applicable, meaningful, restorative, and enculturated ways.

“…Since the publication of Mearns and Cooper (2005), the relevance of relational depth in therapy has been more widely researched and discussed. Ramberg (2006, p. 21) suggested that it is possible for client and therapist to develop “an intersubjective consciousness in a mutually experienced present moment,” where their experiences “are sufficiently alike for a ‘consciousness’ of a shared mental landscape to arise.” This argument is similar to the concept proposed by Ogden (1994, p. 9) of “mutual recognition,” in which the “individual subjectivities” of client and therapist are subsumed into a co‐created “analytic third.” Lux (2013, p. 86) suggested that self‐exploration during a therapeutic relationship which the client perceives as empathic and facilitative “supports integration within the brain and leads to a strengthening of the neural connectivity between cognitive, emotional and motivational brain systems.” Siegel (2020, p. 460) argued that connections between minds “involve a dyadic form of resonance” producing “an overwhelming sense of immediacy, clarity and authenticity” in which “one can appreciate the power of relationships to nurture and to heal the mind.”…”

| INTRODUC TI ON"Relational Depth" is a term first used by Mearns (1996) to explore the significance for the client of relational aspects of therapy. It was introduced to a wider readership by Mearns and Cooper (2005) where it was described (p. xii) as "a state of profound contact and engagement between two people, in which each person is fully real with the other, and able to understand and value the other's experiences at a high level." Cooper (2013, p. 69) related clients' descriptions of "very physical sensations" during moments of deep connection, accompanied by "a sense of self-worth, self-acceptance and specialness." The term "relational depth" can be applied to "particular
